PLEASE LEAVE YOUR NUMBER

It’s choose your own adventure time!

If you want Dan to make a joke about the contents of the cask, skip to number (6).

If you want Dan to make a joke about cask dresses vs. draft or bottled dresses, skip to number (8).

If you need instructions in Spanish, toque el numero dos ahora.

(3)

One of king – that’s not a very good hand. They better hope for something good on the flop. Now go to number (7).

(4)

One of King? I can beat that – I bid two of “To order additional playing cards, contact us at this address.” Now go to number (7).

(5)

How did you even get here? Oh well, shh… don’t tell anyone else – it will be our little private space. Do you like gladiator movies?

(6)

Cask only, eh? What would you like the cask full of? I can probably find some used paint thinner, or possibly some bacon grease. Now go to number (7).

(8)

Cask only, eh? That’s OK if you’re serving the dress at room temperature, but for colder temperatures, you’re probably going to prefer draft or bottled. Now go to number (7).

(9)

One of King, eh? This must be somewhere between the “68 Comeback Special” period and the “Fat Sequined Jumpsuit” period. We’ll call it the “Taffeta Cross Dressing” period. (Note – this may not actually be taffeta – I’m a guy, I have no idea.)

Now go to number (7).

Thanks for the post, MR!

Now go to number (7).

        7A) I like apple pie, with a thin slice of cheddar cheese on top, but only if it’s warm..not the cheese, the pie and ice cream on the side, but if you don’t have ice cream then only the pie with cheese if it’s warm but if you can’t warm the pie then just bring me a Twinkie unless you don’t have Twinkies and then just forget it.

          7A2) That reminds me of the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m’shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt. Which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ’em. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you’d say. Now where was I… oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn’t get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones…

    Anyone else wonder why the top right picture looks like a strapless design and the other two don’t? Is this magic? Is it something that occurs after you drink the cask (I would have thought the whole dress would come off at that point, not just the straps)?
